Australian here: your post had me scratching my head. I woke up and read about an Australian native budgie that is called by the name of New Zealand's native, flightless bird.
There must be a story behind the name you have given your budgie?
@colinburgess @perkinsy We lived in Brisbane, Australia for a year on sabbatical & stopped in New Zealand for a couple of weeks on the way home where we were able to see Kiwis (and Keas, Wekas, Takahes & more!)
My 10yr old adopted our budgie the week we returned & named him Kiwi.
